aftermarket wrx header, will it fit on 90-94 legacy turbo

I was just curious if an aftermarket header/uppipe made for an 02-06 wrx fit on a 92 legacy SS. Also are there flow benefits from this or is it a pointless mod?

Please advise,
Grant

Yes it will fit, but you need to plug the WRX O2 sensor hole.

A small gain on a stock motor, but really only worthy if the turbo-back is already done.

Just a note, people have noticed a decrease in turbo spool and torque when going to the larger aftermarket headers.

Go blow air through a straw then try the same thing with a garden hose. Tell me how fast the air is moving on both.

is anything extra needed to put the wrx header on? like an up pipe or anything else?

It "should" bolt right up.
